DISABILITY REPORT - APPEAL - Form SSA-3441-BK
READ ALL OF THIS INFORMATION BEFORE YOU BEGIN
COMPLETING THIS FORM
We will use the information that you give us on this form to update your disability report
information for your appeal. We will use the form to update your disability information since
you last completed a disability report. Please complete as much of the form as you can. If
you need help, your interviewer will help you finish it. If you have an appointment for an
interview by telephone, have the form ready to discuss with us when we call you. If you have
an appointment for an interview in our office, bring the completed form with you or mail it
ahead of time, if you were told to do so. If you have access to the Internet, you may access
the Disability Report Form - Appeal instructions at http://www.ssa.gov/online/ssa-3441.html

If you are filling out the form for someone else, please provide information about him or her.
When a question refers to "you," "your," or the "Disabled Person," it refers to the person who
is applying for or has been entitled to disability benefits.

ABOUT YOUR MEDICAL RECORDS
If you have any medical records or copies of prescriptions at home, send them to our office
with your completed form or, if you are having an interview in our office, bring them and any
medicine containers with you. If you need the records back, tell us and we will photocopy
them and return them to you.
YOU DO NOT NEED TO ASK DOCTORS OR HOSPITALS FOR ANY MEDICAL
RECORDS THAT YOU DO NOT ALREADY HAVE. With your permission, we will do that for
you. The information we ask for on this form tells us to whom we should send a request for
medical and other records. If you cannot remember the names and addresses of your
medical sources, you may be able to get that information from the telephone book, medical
bills, prescriptions, or prescription containers.
